December

Food Drive Month

Did you know there are 16 million starving children in the United States?  While many of these families receive assistance, they still rely on food banks to make it through each month.  We are encouraging families to bring in healthy, non-perishable foods that we will then donate to local food banks.

We are hoping this can be an opportunity for our families to teach children another way to think about their food, discussing healthy portion control and understanding what it means to truly be hungry.

Suggestions for donations include canned fruit and vegetables, whole wheat pastas, peanut butter, and canned legumes (black beans, garbonzo beans, etc).

We thank you for helping us to provide food to growing tummies!
